I burst right out into a swan

and I have the video to prove it:


That's from Shimmies for a Cure held yesterday in Somerville, MA. It was a benefit for Dana Farber and around $4,000 was raised! I feel very honored to have a skill that I can give to these events that raise so much money for good causes. It really was a wonderful show with so many great performers. Samantha and Baseema also put on one of the best run shows in town, so it was a pleasure to be part of from beginning to end! I even won a couple of things in the raffles, breaking my long-standing losing streak: a signed Leyla Jouvana and Roland VHS, and 1-2-3 Bahaia, which I think is more of a beginner level DVD but I admire her dancing so I'm be interested in watching it.

Still sicker than sick. I reorganized my filing cabinet and went through my stationery/painting supplies this afternoon and it has left me exhausted. I think breathing all that dust was no good for me. Ah well--I feel absolutely no compunction to do anything at all productive for the rest of the day!

Damn, that was excellent!

I hope you feel better soon. You've definitely earned a rest!

1-2-3 Bahaia is a cute choreography, but it is pretty beginner. However, it's good to have such things to lend out to our friends who are starting out.

I only put in one of the 5$ raffle and I didn't win - usually I win a few. So I feel like the universe is evened out this time.

Besides, I think Morgana will look lovely in that baladi dress! (That's what I put mine in for - figured even if it didn't fit, I could always re-sell.)

That was glorious ~ apparently the illness had no diminishing effect whatsoever on your expressive dancing! Even so, I do hope you'll feel fully better soon...
